Chanel West Coast, a beloved personality on the MTV show Ridiculousness, announced on Monday that she will be departing the show after 12 years and 30 seasons. Rapper Chelsea Chanel Dudley, whose given name is Chelsea, is taking a new direction in her career by creating and starring in her own reality television series.
Chanel released a statement revealing her departure in which she thanked her colleagues at Ridiculousness and expressed optimism about the future. Making art of any kind has always been one of my greatest joys. I hope to develop my teams and collaborate with other visionaries in the film and television industry to realize some of my greatest ideas and aspirations. I’m thrilled that people will finally get to know me as more than just “the laugh.”
Chanel’s trademark chuckle became instantly recognizable and will be sorely missed. But now that she’s off the red couch, she’s eager to demonstrate her other talents to the world. Chanel is a multifaceted artist whose resume spans music, fashion, and even a line of smoking accessories for a monthly subscription service for cannabis users.
Fans will miss her hilarious antics and insightful observations, but she will continue to make her mark in the entertainment business with new and exciting initiatives.
